I ran across your post regarding Nick Johnson over at R. Twerk blacksmith.

I have the same issue. I placed a large order with him and he ran away with my money. I placed a complaint with Paypal but they closed my case too because it was past the time limit. It has been 13 months since my order. He refuses to reply to my correspondence. Out of frustration I had a friend in the UK call him from the number on his website He answered for him so I know he is alive and still in business.

To all, do not to business with this guy. He is a crook. I have been searching blacksmith associations he may be a member of to report him.
